A modern Italian dining room on the Las Brisas hillside pairing handmade pasta and risotto with locally caught seafood, set above a wide view of Acapulco Bay.
Becco al Mare occupies a hillside terrace in the Las Brisas district of Acapulco, Guerrero, pairing Italian technique with seafood pulled from the surrounding bay. The kitchen builds its menu around handmade pasta, with seafood risotto, grilled octopus, and shrimp pasta among the signature dishes that keep regulars returning. The dining room is modern and open-sided, with white tablecloths, low lighting, and a wide-open view down toward Acapulco Bay that is especially striking after sunset; the noise level stays moderate, suited to a slower dinner. The wine list favors Italian labels chosen to pair with seafood, alongside a shorter selection of Mexican wines. Given its bay-view seating and reputation among Acapulco's fine-dining options, reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend dinners and during the winter high season, when booking a day or two in advance is worthwhile.
